Bumping this up for anyone new to the forum

Bump! Bump! Bump!

buuump! just made some changes, with Duran, SRL, Pacman, Whitaker, Lewis and a few others all moving up while Arguello moves down.

I just think Hopkins deserves it, often when people make these lists they start ranking guys they've never seen from the early 20th century, guys where you can only find a few clips of. gans is a prime example, i have him lower than most simply because of a lack of what i can see with my own eyes.

boxing isn't like cricket or baseball, stats don't mean a hell of a lot unless you can see it for yourself. that's why i've tried limiting the number of "unseen" fighters in my list.

Yet you have Greb on the list who has 0 footage??

How on Gods green earth would Barrera rank over Floyd? his resume is not better, he has not accomplished more and did not have his longevity

This guy gets points for trying, but what a clown.

There's been a lot of discussion on who should be a top 20 ATG. Should Hopkins be there? Should he not? Most of you know my opinion on that but it got me thinking, it's about time I made a top 20 of my own. I've never done this before and it may be subject to change but here goes:

I said I limited the number of unseen fighters, not completely removed them. Greb has a great reputation amongst writers in this sport who I respect and whos opinions mean something.

Not everything is about Floyd...let it go, I told you before, he doesn't give a damn about you

Thanks man.

There's a fair few who could be ranked slightly higher or lower but my top 15-20 often stays the same.

pep, chavez, and benny leonard are all too high.
